Metacetamol (developmental code name BS-749), also known as 3-hydroxyacetanilide and AMAP, is a non-toxic regioisomer of paracetamol with analgesic and antipyretic properties, but has never been marketed as a drug. [1] [2] Metacetamol is known to have several polymorphs. [3] Form II is metastable, while form I is stable. [3]

Acetamide (systematic name: ethanamide) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CONH 2. It is an amide derived from ammonia and acetic acid. It finds some use as a plasticizer and as an industrial solvent. [5] The related compound N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) is more widely used, but it is not
Drug nomenclature is the systematic naming of drugs, especially pharmaceutical drugs.In the majority of circumstances, drugs have 3 types of names: chemical names, the most important of which is the IUPAC name; generic or nonproprietary names, the most important of which are international nonproprietary names (INNs); and trade names, which are brand names.

Names Preferred IUPAC name. 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one. Other names 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethanone 4-Hydroxyacetophenone 4'-Hydroxyacetophenone p-Hydroxyacetophenone.
Phenacetin ⓘ (acetophenetidin, N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)acetamide [1]) is a pain-relieving and fever-reducing drug, which was widely used following its introduction in 1887. It was withdrawn from medicinal use as dangerous from the 1970s (e.g., withdrawn in Canada in 1973, [2] and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1983 [3]).
[3] [4] In both species, it is subsequently metabolized into 4-hydroxyphenylacetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzymes in humans and the phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (feaB) enzyme in E. coli. [3] [4] [5] The condensation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde and dopamine is a key step in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.
